Perhaps that was due to a certain notion of what music mainly consists of, viz. pitches, rhythm, metre. Specific fingerings (due to strings and tunings) and resonance (in consequence of the number of courses and their respective tunings) didn't matter.

One more thought about Walter gerwig-- I had wondered why he used g tuning for baroque works? Was he aware of the work done by Hans neeman in the 1930s on the dminor lute? Now this is no criticism of gerwig, as I have made many transcriptions of Bach and Handel for the 14 course archlute and I adore playing baroque music on it.
